Disha Vakani became a household name with her character Daya ben from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC). The actress left the audience in awe with her brilliant acting chops, gaining a massive fan following. However, the actress took off on her maternity leave in September 2017, and hasn`t returned on the show since. While the show is still fetching great TRPs, Disha Vakani`s comeback still remains the big question.
Now, in a recent interview, Ghanshyam Nayak, who plays the popular character of Nattu Kaka, talked about how he is missing Vakani on set. Speaking to The Times of India, the actor said, "We are all waiting for years now. It has been a long wait and we are all hoping that she will return. In fact, if she clarifies to the producer, he can also think of a new Dayaben, but that decision is entirely with the production house. She is important to the show and the entire team is tired waiting for her."
